U.S. AIR FORCE AWARDS ELECTRONIC WARFARE RESEARCH CONTRACT
WASHINGTON - Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp., Atlanta, Georgia, has been awarded a $44.5 million cost- plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract for research and development of the Electronic Warfare/Sensor Technology, Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Research (EWTA) program. The contractor will conduct collaborative research with the objective to increase Air Force capabilities to conduct countermeasures and information warfare against current, evolving, and new threats.
The EWTA exploits technologies that can provide solutions to warfighter electronic warfare/sensor deficiencies. It also performs experiments and demonstrations to develop, evolve, evaluate, verify, and validate EW/sensor technologies and concepts. The EWTA continues a unified program of research, concept development, analyses, and experimentation to determine and validate the mission effectiveness of EW/sensor technologies and their overall systems. Work will be performed at Atlanta, Georgia, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and is expected to be completed by Nov. 25, 2021. This award is the result of a sole-source acquisition. No funds are being obligated at the time of award. Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity (FA8650-15-D-1715).
